Groton - Several hundred Groton residents are without power tonight after a tree fell onto a power line, a Connecticut Light & Power spokesman said.

Frank Poirot said crews expect to have power restored to all but a few customers by 10 p.m. As of 9 p.m., 847, or 10 percent, of Groton customers were without power. Poirot said it will take longer to restore power to approximately 12 to 16 other customers.

In a separate incident earlier tonight, about 577, or 9 percent of Ledyard customers lost power after a tree struck a wire.
